Important Note
The following information is intended to supplement, not substitute for, the
expertise and judgment of your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare
professional. It should not be construed to indicate that use of the drug is
safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult your healthcare professional
before using this drug.
Uses
This is a nasal steroid that works directly on nasal tissue to reduce swelling
and inflammation. It is used to treat nasal itching, runny nose, postnasal drip,
nasal congestion and sneezing associated with allergic rhinitis.
How to Use
To get the most benefit from this medication, make sure you understand how to
use the nasal spray properly. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to demonstrate the
correct way to use a nasal spray. Shake well before using. The medication must
reach the nasal tissue to be effective. Therefore, blow your nose to clear the
nasal passage before using the medication. If passages are blocked, a nasal
decongestant may be used first (for a maximum of 3 to 5 days) to open the
passages allowing proper penetration of the medication. Be sure to aim spray
away from the middle of the nose, that is, away from the nasal septum and toward
the inflamed areas inside the nasal passages. Use this medication exactly as
prescribed. It must be used routinely to be effective. Do not increase your dose
or use this more frequently than directed without your doctor's approval. It may
take a few days before the benefits of the medication are noticed. If after 2 to
3 weeks no improvement in symptoms is noticed, consult your doctor. Use this
medication with caution if sores or injuries are present in the nasal passages.
Side Effects
This medication may cause irritation, stinging, burning, or dryness of the nasal
passages. Sneezing, nosebleed, headache, lightheadedness, loss of taste, throat
irritation or nausea may also occur. If these effects continue or become
bothersome, inform your doctor. Unlikely but report promptly: persistent nose or
throat irritation/soreness, white patchy areas. Very unlikely but report
promptly: broken or damaged nasal membranes, unusual weakness, weight loss,
nausea/vomiting, fainting, dizziness, vision changes. If you notice other
effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Precautions
This medication should be used with caution if the following medical conditions
exist: glaucoma, herpes-type infection of the eye, infection, recent nasal
surgery or existing nasal sores, liver disease, tuberculosis, underactive
thyroid, allergies to corticosteroids. Though very unlikely, it is possible this
medication will be absorbed into your bloodstream. This may have undesirable
consequences that may require additional corticosteroid treatment. This is
especially true for children and for those who have used this for an extended
period if they also have serious medical problems such as serious infections,
injuries or surgeries. This precaution applies for up to one year after stopping
use of this drug. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. Caution is
advised in children as this drug may affect growth patterns. Consult child's
doctor. This medication should be used only when clearly needed during
